ORIGINAL: JZarr
I' ve never had a problem with glare, but fogging bugs the hell out of me! I have to wear my facemask down under my nose and breathe out of my mouth when I' m hunting cold weather.

That reminds me of the time last season when I went duck hunting with some friends of mine. We were in a boat w/popup duck blind, and it felt like it was -20 degrees out there.... There were a flock of mallards and gadwalls out there on the river and when they circled to come near us, we all stood up to get ready. All except I had a major problem.... I stood there ready with my Remington 870 going " Duhhhhhhh!!!!" and had the lenses of my glasses completely fog up so I couldn' t even see the ducks coming in! [&:] Man, those guys still to this day won' t let me live that down!!

RE: Stupid glasses !
I struggled with glasses for years, fogging, sweating, not being able to see through my peep sight. A couple seasons back I got cheap disposable contacts, finally got used to them and MAN am I ever glad I did that, it' s one of the best pieces of equipment in my hunting arsenal!!

About the best Antifog I have used is as follows:
International Performers. Inc
9631 Denton Ave. Bldg. 7
Hudson, FL 34667
Sorry I dont have their phone number, but it should be pretty easy to get with the above info. This is the pink stuff you see the guys hawking at gun shows and what not. I have found it to work really well. Great for scopes too.

RE: Stupid glasses !
Contacts..... Hrm.... Doubt that would help my fear of sticking anything in my eyes.... Guess i' m stuck with glasses.
There are some products made by ITECH (Maker of ICE Hockey Facemasks) that come in a small spray pump that is supposed to cut back on the fog. Maybe I' ll look into this option and get back to you guys with the result.

Found this site that does prescription sunglasses. They have different types for different kinds of activities. Might help.

RE: Stupid glasses !
I stopped after work yesterday and picked up a full brimmed hat. Not a cowboy hat but more like a " Gilligan" style hat that cableguy119 mentioned. It' s soft and has Advantage timber camo on one side but reverses to flourescent orange on the other side. Has a nice elastic band that fits nicely even over top of my headnet.
